Christian Missions and Treaty Rights in Late Qing China, 1842–1903

" It is a fascinating piece of work, unique in its historical angle and superb in its scholarship. It is going to make an important contribution to understanding the complexity and dynamic in the interaction between the Qing government, foreign powers, missionaries and the Chinese people. This book will help to unmask the simplistic rendering of the history of interaction between Christianity and China. It is also timely, providing another perspective to see what is happening today." —Professor Carver Yu, President Emeritus of the China Graduate School of Theology
